Castleford stand-off Rangi Chase played for the Exiles last year before making his England debut in the Gillette Four Nations series last autumn and so will be in contention to play against the Exiles this summer.

Meanwhile, former Halifax and Sheffield Eagles forward Ged Corcoran has been appointed as Ireland A coach.

The Offaly-born Corcoran, 28, who has won 12 senior caps and was a member of Ireland's 2008 Rugby League World Cup team, will be in charge for Ireland's annual Donnybrook Cup match against the United States on St Patrick's Day and the forthcoming amateur four nations tournament.

"To be asked to do the Ireland A coaching job is a very special moment for me as I'm a very passionate person about my country," he said.
